Amazon S3 Access Points customers can now configure Amazon CloudWatch request metrics. With this launch, S3 request metrics can now be generated for all objects in a bucket, or you can generate metrics for specific combinations of prefix, object tags, or access points. With S3 Access Points, you can easily build the right access controls to shared dataset and now with the support of filtering by access points, you can monitor the request patterns by access controls. You can use the S3 Management Console, SDK, API, or AWS CloudFormation to enable S3 request metrics. The metrics are available at 1-minute intervals and can be monitored on both the Amazon S3 Console or on Amazon CloudWatch Console.

AWS RoboMaker , a service that allows customers to simulate robotics applications at cloud scale, now supports container images. This feature enables customers to use the container tools that they are already familiar with to build and package their code for running simulations in RoboMaker.  

Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) now supports the simultaneous use of multiple authentication modes and updates to encryption-in-transit settings for Amazon MSK clusters. These features allow you to migrate your clients seamlessly from one authentication mode to another and update encryption settings to match those changes. 

Amazon QuickSight announced Dataset-as-a-Source, a new feature that saves customers time and improves data governance. Dataset-as-a-Source allows users to create a new dataset using one or more existing datasets as input, and combine it with brand new data sources, such as other databases, CSV files, and apps like Twitter. Curators can create central datasets that Authors can reuse to create their own. Curators can control the definitions of business metrics in the central datasets, and Authors save time by getting a starting point to create new datasets themselves. If the dataset’s definition needs to be updated, Curators can make changes to the central datasets and dependent datasets get automatically updated. Dataset-as-a-Source can be used to combine datasets with Direct Query, SPICE, or a combination of the two. To learn more, visit here .
